Based on the flags seen in the configure line you pasted, you are NOT using the functionality of the build repo wrapper mentioned above, but compiling the bare MPlayer repo against system libraries only. Is this intentional? I would have expected you to mention it if it was. Does compilation succeed if you DO use the build repo? > it bails claiming I need libavutil, though I have both the lib and dev > packages of libavutil already installed. I don't know what could cause that "libavutil/common.h: No such file or directory" error if you really had a development package containing /usr/include/libavutil/common.h installed. What version of the packages would those be anyway? If you're talking about those released with Debian Lenny, they're way too old (though I think they should have that header - I'd expect some different error later), and you should use the build repo instead to build MPlayer linked against a custom-built up-to-date version of the FFmpeg libraries and libass.
